	BBC - h2g2 - The Assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand
		heir to the Austro-Hungarian throne was assassinated in Sarajevo, Bosnia Herzegovina.

		Ferdinand and the rest of the procession reached the town hall and while he planned to continue with the afternoon's engagements (lunch at the governor's residence and a museum visit), Ferdinand was anxious to check on those injured by Cabrinovic's bomb, who were now in hospital.

	Erzherzog Franz Ferdinand Karl Ludwig Joseph Maria von Habsburg-Lothringen d'Este
		While the ascension of his son, Archduke Maximilian, to the throne of Austria was prevented, Franz Ferdinand's heir was not prevented from ascending the throne of Hungary, whose royal laws did not hinge on Habsburg family law.
		Franz Josef may have disliked Franz Ferdinand's marriage, his associates, and his political ideas, but he also realised that the Archduke was a survivor, made strong by his childhood illness, and needed some experience before ascending the thrones of the Dual Monarchy.
		After the Archduke was assassinated, the Serbs and other Entente sources claimed that the deed was perpetrated by either the Kaiser's secret police in retaliation for his morganatic marriage or by the Magyars themselves, who feared the Archdule's plans for their Kingdom.

	Archduke Eugen
		At the outbreak of war with Serbia - after the assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand and his wife in Sarajevo - a commander-in-chief had to be chosen because Emperor Franz Joseph was too aged to take over command himself.
		Archduke Eugen's troops, although weakened to strengthen the Eastern front against Russia, held the lines against the Serbian army which was unable to try any offensive operation.
		According to expert opinion Archduke Eugen's military ability was not out of the ordinary, but two of his Chiefs of Staff were very able men: Alfred Krauss (1914-1916, then corps commander during the Caporetto breakthrough; in the twenties his Germanophilia led him to the nazi party) and Theodor Konopicky (1917/18).

		The assassination of the Archduke and the Duchess in Sarajevo occurred in the morning of June 28, 1914 and they were both dead by 11:30 AM.
		In Vienna, the assassination was immediately blamed on Serbia and Serbia was held responsible.(71) The extent of Serbian involvement and responsibility has been the subject of an extensive historiographic debate primarily because the evidence is incomplete and not conclusive.The actions the Serbian leaders and government took during the July Crisis have been criticized as well.
		In assessing the Serbian government role in the assassination, greater attention needs to be devoted to the internal political climate of Bosnia and the indigenous factors of Bosnia that motivated the assassins.Moreover, the origins of the Bosnian nationalist movements have not adequately be studied.

		The assassination has all the marks of amateurism which would accompany this kind of attack, and only suceeded because of the most amazing sequence of luck and chance.

		He is concerned here only with those assassinations in which the motives were strictly political, so some of the more interesting and perhaps mysterious murders are not included.
		He concludes that assassinations cannot change the general direction of history, but they can speed up or retard historical tides and perhaps even stimulate movement where an unstable inertia prevails.
		Others might ask why Abraham Lincoln is the only US president among the murdered elected leaders (like Gandhi, Yitzhak Rabin, and South Africa's Hendrick Verwoerd) who, Hudson feels, might have changed their nations for the better had they died of natural causes.
